At XRC Engineering, we believe that high quality manufacturing is not just about having the latest machines. It is about having the right machine for the specific challenge. Our shop floor is curated to handle everything from one-off prototypes to high volume production runs. Leading the charge for our 3-axis milling requirements is the Haas VF-2SS (Super Speed). The Technical Edge The "SS" in the name stands for Super Speed, and it is more than just marketing This machine is

The landscape of additive manufacturing has shifted. With the arrival of high-speed systems like the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon and industrial workhorses like the Formlabs Fuse 1 , engineers and designers now have professional-grade production at their fingertips. At XRC Engineering, we provide a full spectrum of 3D printing services. Whether you need a rapid fit-check prototype or a batch of high-strength functional parts, choosing the right technology is key to a successful proje

Effective manufacturing is not just about the size of the machine. It is about the strategic speed of the setup. While large-scale mills have their place for bulkier components, the ability to pivot quickly is what keeps modern engineering projects on schedule. At XRC Engineering, the Haas Super Mini Mill is a vital part of our 3-axis fleet, offering the agility required for specialized medium-volume production and rapid prototyping. The Technical Edge The "Super" in this Mi

In engineering, consistency is the true measure of quality. This is especially true when tolerances are measured in microns and components must fit perfectly into complex assemblies. While milling often takes the spotlight, high-performance turning is the foundation of many critical engineering projects. At XRC Engineering, we rely on the Haas ST-15 2-Axis Lathe as our primary platform for precision turned components. The Technical Edge The ST-15 is a heavy-duty turning cent

Precision isn't just about the machine you use. It is about matching the right technology to the complexity of the part. At XRC Engineering, we don’t believe in "making do" with standard setups when a project demands a higher level of sophistication. Our flagship platforms for tackling our most technically demanding work are our two Haas UMC-400 5-Axis machining centres. The Technical Edge The UMC-400 is a versatile 5-axis universal machining centre that allows for simultan
